[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
“Dominic, what should we do?”
“We have to head back to Pack Manor. We can’t stay here with the kids anymore. It’s dangerous having them around in an open area like this. We have to be cautious. There could be enemies lurking anywhere here.”
I hated that we had to cut this wonderful day short with the twins, but Dominic was right. We couldn’t risk their safety. I looked at Devon and Diana’s faces, and I saw on their faces that they knew what was happening.
“I’m sorry—”
“It’s fine, Mom and Dad.” Despite the worry in his eyes, Devon smiled with enthusiasm. I could tell how all those struggles we went through made him more mature than his age. “We understand that you have to protect the pack first. We can go here again and spend time together once you secure the gates. I know our safety is your top priority.”
